The cost is $0.125 million per mile to run power lines over land and $0.2 million per mile to run power lines under water. How far over land should the power line be run if the total cost of the project is to be $1 million? Round to the nearest tenth of a mile. See the diagram below. (Hint: Cost for a segment equals cost per mile times the number of miles.) PowerstationFactory1 + (6 x)2
